I considered this lift but after reading different testimonials on a few different forums I went with a Rubicon Express 4.5" Extreme Duty.  It's more money but if you are going to wheel it it's worth savin' up your pennies...

here are some pics of mine

You get what you pay for.  Rough Country, Procomp, Rancho are all very stiff lifts.  If you are looking at the 4" range than I would look at the RE and BDS lifts.  There are lots of people running the BDS lift in the US that really like them.  Also don't cheap out on the shocks either; they can make or break a spring.

I had the rough country 4" lift on my TJ when I had it and I put 35" inch tires with no problems at all. It rode pretty good on and off road. My friend has the 4" rubicon express lift and it honestly feels no better or worse. It was alot more money though. The only thing I like about the rubicon express kit over the rough country kit is that it comes with the swaybar disconects and the pivot points have grease fittings. You can buy the disconects seprately and they're pretty cheap too. It's also easy enough to drill out, tap and screw in the grease fittings but they are not really needed, just an added bonus. I'd go for it.

ill add another small point here. scott mentioned the rancho kit was rough riding amongst others, but i had at one point the 2.5 inch lift in my YJ from rancho and it rode pretty smooth. but a 2.5" compared to a 4"  could be all the difference. just so you know. i run 2.5" of lift and have 33" tires. they rub sometimes when im wheeling, but usually not. a 1" body lift would be perfect with a shorter lift. id do it again this way... actually i still can do the body lift. hmmm....

I run a rough country 4" lift on my cj and it rides way better. Offroad it flex's well and to top it off was about a $1000 cheaper than a rubicon express
